Portrait of Ret. U.S. Army SFC Ronald Kelly, 59, who served his country for 20 years was denied permission to buy a gun over a supposed misdemeanor conviction for marijuana possession case when he was 17 years old. After a whirl of media attention authorities later approved his request, and said the charge against Kelly had actually been dropped. The federally required background check had bad information.
